This is the story of our precious baby boy, who was diagnosed prenatally at
17 weeks with a fatal chromosome disorder called Trisomy 13. Although
Jonathan's condition is considered "not compatible with life", we desired to give
him every chance at life. Our prayer is that those who are touched by our story
are drawn to God, who is Life Himself. John 14:6

sweet feet

just in time for father's day, we received this wonderful keepsake pillow bearing jonathan's footprints from the ministry "cherished soles."  It's a small pillow embroidered with jonathan's name and birthdate on white linen.  i presented it to my husband as his gift from his son. 


the footprints are actual size.  look how tiny...


it had been awhile since i'd seen these sweet little feet, even though they are stamped in my bible.


i had forgotten just how small they are.  just how perfect they are.  just how kissable they were.


but as always, i was reminded of the amazing miracle that jonathan was and continues to be, eight and a half months later.  and the "cost" of carrying him (too high, as perceived by many) was worth every heartache just to meet him and kiss those feet.  not a single regret, instead, just peace and lots and lots of love.  i am so thankful for these precious moments with my son.

happy father's day to my wonderful husband.  jonathan couldn't have asked for a better daddy. 


kate and i love you so much and are so blessed to have you in our lives.

  2. Those feet are absolutely delicious and I can only imagine how many hours and hours you would have spent doing nothing but cuddling them and kissing them.

    So beautiful and bittersweet...
    Lots of love to you friend!!!
